Papal Visit

D.C. was the place to visit this week. Business took me to our nation's capital on Wednesday, the same day on which Pope Benedict XVI arrived.
We were trying to get around downtown but they had completely closed off Pennsylvania Avenue along which the Popes motorcade was scheduled to ride. We walked forever trying to get across to our 11:30 appointment.

We followed the route for more than a half an hour and ended up missing seeing the Pope by only ten minutes. I'm not sure which I would have been more excited to see, the Pope of the Popemobile.
The crowd was enormous. I believe Catholicism is alive and well in the Spanish speaking world. The Latino community was out in full force to welcome his Holiness. They were singing and dancing up a storm.

We were late to our meeting but we did make it eventually. All of our meetings went well and it was a really nice day to be walking around D.C.
